Oh our darling Flop! One of our favorite fleeces on the farm. Long, strong wether locks. Beautiful luster. Amazing length and volume. Soft for a long wool, but this is definitely a classic long wool fleece with a loose crimp and occasional curl. Excellent consistency and lock structure. Last year his fleece won a ribbon at the Black Sheep Gathering. A bit of VM, but overall pretty clean. This sheep was not coated. Staple length 5.5-6". Weight: 8 lb.
All our fleeces are sold raw and skirted. This means unusable parts of the fleece have been removed after shearing, but the fleece is unwashed and unprocessed. Your new fleece has been worn by a sheep for 6-12 months, so it will naturally have lanolin, dirt, sweat, and sometimes a little vegetable matter.
We ship using Pirate Ship to ensure you get the best possible shipping rate. Fleeces are shipped in vacuum sealed bags.
We want all of our customers to be happy with their fleece. If you are not satisfied, please let us know without 60 days of purchase so that we can arrange a replacement or refund.
Raw fleece needs to be able to breath while stored. Please remove your new fleece from the vacuum-sealed packaging as soon as you receive it. Store in a plastic tub, cotton pillowcase, wooden box, or other breathable storage option. Keep it in a cool, dry location until you are ready to wash and process your new fleece. To reduce the risk of moths, add cedar balls or shavings to your storage container.
